Filling an empty hole on this blog: Holes by Louis Sachar

Hellooooooooooooooooooooo! I am so sorry I haven't been blog posting, I've got a really big test coming up and I've been studying quite a bit. Also, when I have had some spare time and opened up my laptop I haven't felt like blogging...  But enough of my blabbering on that  I'm now going to give you a post with a book review of the great Holes, by Louis Sachar.

Louis Sachar has written multiple books, one of which I have loved and will be reviewing today:

Holes:
Holes is about Stanley whose family have a reputation for bad luck, and when he is sent to Camp Green Lake - which, funnily enough, isn't green and doesn't have a lake - it was simply a matter of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Every day he and the other boys are told to dig a hole, five foot wide and five foot deep, reporting anything found. The warden claims that this labour is character building, but Stanley is suspicious and needs to dig up the truth.

I really like this book because of the flashbacks and clever links throughout the story. Also Holes is really gripping, thrilling and when you finally put it all together it's a bit like completing a jigsaw puzzle.

I would recommend this book this book to 8-12 years old who like cleverly written books that are satire. WARNING: You have to persevere with this book until the end otherwise it won't make any sense at all whatsoever and you will go away thinking it's a rubbish book, which it isn't.

I am in the process of reading another of Louis Sachar's brilliant books called the Cardturner, and already it is an amazing book.
